This application relates to elastomeric articles such as gloves, compositions for producing the articles and methods for their manufacture. The elastomeric articles contain particles for 5 detectability of the articles (or portions thereof) by metal detectors and/or x-ray detectors. The articles may contain two different types of particles - one particle type is selected from magnetic particles, highly conductive particles or a combination, and the second particle type is particles containing one or more high atomic mass elements (with an atomic mass of at least 132). The particles may be coated by a corrosion inhibitor coating, or they may be 10 uncoated. The compositions for producing the articles may contain a viscosity modifier. 184466441 (GHMatters) P107045.AU.2
